Update: My second order arrived today and somehow the packaging was just as bad. They put some air pillows on top, but the candles were still loose in a huge box with no dividers or protection between them. Multiple candles were broken, there was shattered glass throughout the box, and I actually cut my finger on it.

I talked to two different Walmart reps. They are sending replacements, but both told me I have to return the broken candles through FedEx. I explained that I already went to FedEx and was told they will not accept a box of broken glass. Walmart actually acknowledged that I was right about FedEx not accepting it, but then told me they're sending another FedEx label anyway and that I still can't return it to a Walmart store. 🤦‍♀️

The crazy part is that during the $3.33 Goose Creek after Christmas sale last year, Walmart actually packaged these properly in perforated paper or individual boxes. I have no idea what is happening!

Update on my Goose Creek Walmart order… this is how they arrived. 😳 Glass candles thrown in a box together with no protection, multiple jars shattered and glass everywhere. Walmart's solution is for me to wrap them up and drive them to FedEx to return them. Apparently I'm expected to package them better for the return than Walmart did to ship them. 😂

Never order candles from here before. Was excited earlier this year when I saw this collaboration. Unfortunately don't want to take a risk buying something I won't enjoy. These are the ones thay most match my preferences for candle smells. Has anyone bought any of these and can give me honest reviews and thoughts?

Please be lenient. The "buttercream" method was quite difficult for me. Because when I put the material in the cone the first time it went well, but the second time it tore out of the bag and ruined the process. 😔

I will try my best to explain what each scent smells like to me. Also, the wax is colored!

Zuul: Wax is colored a burgundy red. Smells like your classic cinnamon broom stick scents that they sell at Michaels, but with more spice.

Ghostbusters: Wax color is a muted green. Smells like a light Citrus/Woods scent if you like fresh scents. Reminds me of the cold air during fall.

Ecto-1: Wax color is a muted blue. Reminds me of a cologne woodsy smell with a hint of the Apple & Raspberry it has, def more of a musk smell with a bit of fruitiness.

Slimer: Wax color is turquoise I was expecting slime green haha. Smells like a citrus gummy bear lol! If you’ve had lifesavers gummies it smells like the green ones since it does have orange & lime in the scent notes.

Stay Puft: Wax color is navy blue. Smells exactly like marshmallows with a hint of the Cashmere Woods. If you like vanilla def try it out!

Who Ya Gonna Call?: Wax color is a dark grey/black. Smells like a fresh cologne, you can definitely smell the Bergamot in the candle. Its zesty type of fresh scent.

Public Library: Wax color is a light grey. This one is for the vanilla lovers too including me haha, I was expecting this to smell more like an actual library like musky but its slightly there as the Toasted Vanilla is more strong, with a scents all together smell like the papers in the books if that makes sense.

I hope my descriptions helped in some way if you were curious about what each candle smells like! 💖
